Ingredients

9 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 cup roasted butternut squash puree
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus 2 ounces
Pinch nutmeg
1 recipe pasta dough, rolled out into wide ribbons, about 1/4-inch thick
12 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the squash puree and cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons cheese and nutmeg, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.

Cut the pasta ribbons into 3-inch squares. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Bring 1 corner of the square to the other, forming a triangle and seal the pasta completely. Add the pasta to pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta floats and is pale in color.

Remove the pasta from the water and drain well. Season the pasta with salt and pepper.

In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat.

Place some of the pasta in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the butter sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle the 2 ounces of cheese over each plate and garnish with parsley.

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a vegetarian, so I made this as a regular meal. It's enough for two people. There's a restaurant in my town that makes... something very similar and they dice green apples in about 1/4" squares so that is cooked in the brown butter sauce. And, they add some chopped roasted hazlenuts. I'm going to do that next time, plus add a drizzle of maple syrup. I normally don't like Emeril's style of food. I think that's mostly because I'm a vegetarian, but I read the reviews and it looked good. So, I gave it a try and I loved it!Read more

Great Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this several times and it has been the highlight of the dinner. I have deviated slightly by adding a pound of... Ricotta cheese to the filling. Moreover, to lessen the work, I use boxed jumbo shells or wonton wrappers. Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I must say what a delicious main course with such few ingredients. Because it was the holidays, I wanted to jazz this up and... save time. Instead of roasting a squash, I used a thawed frozen package of winter squash and saved myself a step and time. I also peeled and cut up a fresh ripe pear and added to the filling. I make my own pasta frequently and to top off the finished product, I sprinkled the ravioli with a few candied pecan halves. This was a holiday treat. Thanks Emeril.Read more

So Good!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I wouldn't call this an easy dish by any means, i.e., the butternut squash puree I had to make a day ahead and never having... made fresh pasta was an interesting challenge, but overall it was an outstanding dish. Since my heart attack I have not been able to use that much butter, so I mixed 1-1/2 cups marinara sauce with 1/2 cup non-fat half and half and it was delish over the delicate ravioli's. Also added a chiffonade of fresh basil along with the grated parmesan. To die for!! Serve with salad and crusty french bread. Read more

WOW! A real hit with the neighbors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this dish twice, once for a dinner party with friends and a second time as one of the main dishes for our... neighborhood progressive dinner. Both times, everyone raved at the flavor and simplicity of the dish. It really isn't that hard to make. I made my own pasta dough and the raviolis while watching two episodes of The Next Food Network Star! I would like to point out that the second time I made the dish I needed to extend the filling some so I added 1/4 cup ricotta cheese. It really made the filling light and airy. I will do this from now on. Thanks Emeril for another great recipe!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike from OmahaRead more

Wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Well, this was my first time ever making pasta or raviolis, and for a special occasion too, so a bit risky. But it turned out... wonderful! The filling is absolutely perfect. It's sweet yet also savory, and it has a wonderful, soft texture. Only thing I did different was I used half the amount of scallions necessary. I suspected that they might overpower the pasta and the result was great. They add a perfect flavor. I also made my own dough for the filling. In the future, I'd also use less butter. An entire stick for one meal (even for two) is just too much. I'd also use more sage leaves (by at least 1/3 more), or at least, large ones. Read more
